With Icefall, I’ve already taken the decision to target Direct3D9 – I get a lot of extra capabilities compared to DirectX8, and it still works with Windows XP unlike 10 or 11… a pretty simple decision.

But what about in terms of video memory? And system RAM? What’s a realistic minimum these days? Icefall is a freeware, turn-based RPG, so by rights it shouldn’t require a leading edge PC, but I need a specific target to prevent limiting myself unnescessarily.

Howzabout 32mb video, and 512mb RAM? I think that fits most every PC you could buy in the last few years… and should be enough for some reasonable effects. Anyone got any thoughts on this?
